The emulsion adhesives market is projected to grow from USD 12.98 billion in 2017 to USD 17.28 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 5.9% between 2017 and 2022

This growth can be attributed to the high demand for acrylic emulsion adhesives in the APAC region and technological innovations in end-use industries. However, performance issues in high strength applications are expected to restrain the growth of the emulsion adhesives market.

Based on resin type, the acrylic polymer emulsion segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Unique properties of acrylic polymer emulsions, such as transparency, resistance to breakage, and elasticity, are contributing to the growth of the acrylic polymer emulsion segment. The increasing demand for acrylic polymer emulsions from end-use industries, such as paper & packaging, tapes & labels, construction, and automotive & transportation is another significant factor driving the growth of this segment.

The emulsion adhesives market in the APAC region is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The rise in demand for acrylic emulsion adhesives and the gradual shift of manufacturing facilities to APAC countries due to low production cost are key factors projected to drive the growth of the emulsion adhesives market in the APAC region.
